MAIO-COACH ACCIDENT.—A misadventure, which was very nearly attended with fatal results, occurred on Wed- nesday last at Landilo-fawr. It appears that the imil-coach had drawn up to the door of the Cawdor Arms Hotel, for tha purpose ofchaagioghorfes. The fresh hordes were put to. and the coachman, Mr Leland was leaving the office, and in the very act of preparing to mount, when a aervaut in the employ of Vbcount Eralyn, M.P., passed by in a dog-cart, conveying one oftlierecently arrived passengers to Golden Grove, where he purposed visiting the noble Viscount. In passing the tnail the servant uttered an encour.tgtng chick" to his horse, and the horse-keepers not being in their places at the mail horses' heads, the whole 4 started off at their ac- customary rapid pace. Mr. Leland made a snaicti at the head of the wbeeler, but could not hold him against the united efforts of the other three, and was violently thrown aside, narrowly escaping beinsr dashed against Mr. Thomas, the printer's house, which projects into the street consider- ably. Away flew the dog-ciirt and the mail, sjde hy side, and the latter grazing the wheel of the dog-cart, the servant and the RentleJllan who was seated by his side were thrown out. The horse fled on at full gallop, crossing Llandilo Bridge, aDd passing through the turnpike gate, arrived at the Lodge gate of Golden Grove. The old woman who has charge of the gate, hearing the sound of a horse's hoofs ap- proaching, threw open the gate, when, to her amazement, »he saw the horse gallop past her with an empty dog-cart attached. The servant followed the horse and found him standing quietly at the hall door Of r-olden Grove. We, there- fore, quietly drove him back again, aud took up the gentle. man who was not much hurt for his mishap. The mail was, however, not so fortunate. At the turning of ilie churchyard towards the hill leading to the George House, a policeman seeing the coach without a driver, attempted to stop the horses* but only succeeded in diverting their course, as they galloped at a fuiious rate down the hill towards the Bridge. Every one who had witnessed the affair now felt confident that a dreadful fatal accident must in- evitably ie*ult. Two commercial trayellels who were oil the coach, sought 1I.,fety by leaping from it. One fell on his back, sustaining only a slight bruise, and the other who got off at the back of the vehicle, fell on hia hauds ai.d knee-, merely grazing his hands and causing a rent in the knees of his "inexpre-sibles." Mr. De Winton, "fthe Brecon Hank, who fat on the box seat, boldly ma,ln- tained his position in spite of the danger that menaced him, and had the satLfaet on of finding that at the bottom Of le hill two of the horses fell, and thus impeded the 'u"n^r progress of the coach Immediate assistance was rendered, and the fallen horses having been extricated, it was ounii ihit the hafne.9 was broken, but that the animals had sustained only trifling detriment. Fresh horses were harnessed 31 "Peedily as possible, and the mail proceede i on its destination, all parties congratulating the passenger- oo their provid#nti#l.e»cape.-WfsMm#nt

THE LOSS OF THE PASHA STEAM-SHIP. Our Indian news announces a serious calamity li.ivi' gb fallen the Pasha »team--hip, one of the I eninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's fleet, by coming in collision with iinother of the c< inpiny's vc-scs, ihe Erin. The Pasha wai commanded by Mr. Miller, all experienced navigator, anil h,er crew, with oiricirs. engineer-, stoker*, seamen, and otLers, amounted to Abiol-t trty-one Mie leU Hong Konlt on th<- IOlh < f July for Calcutta, and touched at Siugapore 011 the 21st..1 The same month, which she quilted at one o'clock in the aftrn.oon ol that day. H'r Cargo was a very valuable oue, both in ►pecie and merchan- dise There were several passengers on board, among whom. we believe, were Dr. Bri-roc, of her Majesty's 59th Regiment; M. Hardouin, a French gentleman connected with the Mauritius, and two Chinese who had taken a pas- sage for Pt'niln". On leaving Singapore the Pasha proceeded in her ordinary course up the Straits of Malacca. Air.- Greydate. the third officer, had charge of the wat<-h, and it would seem that the vessel had the usual different col- oured lights on the larboard and starboard paddle-boxes, with others at the bow and foremast, in conformity with the regulations of the Trinity Board. At balf past eleven o'clock the officer reported to Captain Miller that a light was observed on the starboard bow, and on Mr. Miller seeing it he considered it to be a ship's light. Thinking from its proximity to the Formosa Shoal, that he could not pass to port, he directed the t'e m to be put a-starboard. The vessel seen bearing the light wa4 the Erin steanur on her voyage from Calcutta to Singapore and Hong Kong, and last from Penang, and It would seem that on her watch perceiving the lights of the Pasha, which was about tile same time as theirs was first noticed, Captain Trouson, her commander, ordered her helm to be put a-port, a regulation as laid down by the Trinity xuthorities, when two sieamers are approaching in a contraiy direction, and ruehis practi* ble. At this period the vessel'* were eight or nine mile. distant from each other. It is representee that Mr. Miiler, in steering the Pasha off W. by N. and W., thought he would run c ear away from the tdioil, and altogether out of the way of the Erin, as hot course must have been It is also stared that h d the Erin instead of porting her helm I-eld her cuurse, the would have gone time or four miles a.,tern of the Pasha. In making public these inte- ren es, however, it may perhaps be as well to mention that we do not give them as being accurate conclusion*, but only slate them as they have reached u«. Whichever course they kept, the fact it unhappily too apparent that they came in leanol conlaCI. The Eriu's light for some short period was lo-t sight of it is said that it was being trimmed, and it would seem tint it was unknown on board either vessel that the other was a steamer until a blue light was burnt on board the Pasha. This was answered by the Erin, and then the fact was ivcertained that they wete both steamers. The Pasha's helm was still kept to the starboard, and nearly all the time the Erin's was kept to pott It is alleged that at one lime the E'in's masthead light was observed abaft the Pa«lia's starboard paddle-box, the Erin steering as if to communicate with the Pasha, which it would appear the latter was striving to avoid. Perhaps in the end this desired "speaking" may prove to have led in a great measure to the unfoilunate event. Both vessels ftfamed on, and shortly after midnight they came in close company. The engines were stopped and reversed, but a collision was ineyitable. They cattle together with a form that may best b<i imagined troin the circumstance that the Pasha went down within seven or eight minuter after she was struck. The ill-faied vessel received the shock just before the starboard (laddie- box, the stem of the Erin ftoing almost over her. The mm's of the Pa^n i tell at the moment of the collision, anil the scene that ensued at th s awful juncture may possibly be conceived. With the exception of the watch on deckj in- eluding Mr. Miller, the master, the third oilicer, Dr*. Briscoe aud Fox, and the engineers, most of those on board were asleep below. The rush on deck is described to have been of the most frightful description. It was quickly ob- served that the Pasha was fist filling, and everyone was doing his best to preserve his life soine ciiinbeit up the E, ill's bot<, others threw themselves into the .ea, and were picked up by boat- from the Erin, while several got into the quarter boats of the Pasha. Unfortunately, however, the,e could not be got clear of the davits, and before the unhappy creatures w ho had taken to them as a means of rescue could get away from them the Pasha went down in twenty-five fathoms, drugging the boats with her. Some of the poor cri aturcs were seen struggling on the surlace of the water, hut before aid could reach them they disappeared. The Erin sustained considerable damage, aud lier preservation may be greatly attributed to her water-tight compaitments- Notwiihstarding tbe water rUtilrecl in at her bows with much foicf, the other compartments kept her afloat, the water being to a great extent dislodged by the pumps, which were woiktd by the engines She lingered about the spot where. the Pasha went down until nearly four o'clock, in order tJ pick up anything that might turn up of the wreck. She tl^'U made for Siugapore, she reached in the course of the afternoon of that day, and where the fate of the Pasha and the marvellous escipe of the Erin created the deepest sensation. The loss of life was then ascertained, and it was found that the number who had perished amounted to sixteen. The loss of so fine a vessel as the Pasha, especially with such a valuable cargo as she had, muzt amount to a very considerable sum. She had on board forty-two boxes 01 gold bar?, forty-seven boxes of dollnrs, nine boxes of gt) III dust, six boxes of tycee, and other valuable proper t)., amounting in the whole to 600,000 dollars. The Eriu also had a valuable freight, among which were upwards of 1.000 chests of opium for Singapore and China, much of which was damaged by sea water. I The fact of two steamers sighting each other at the dis- tance of seven or eight miles. iu the open sea, and thed coming in such fearful collision as to occasion the loss of life and property staled, ha* produced no small surprise Singapore. It is staled that the pol;ce authorities are eo- gaged in investigating the melancholy occurrence, and it may be just possible that the whole fact., may be brought under the consideration of the Admiralty Court.

GENERAL LOPEZ, the leader of the American pi- rates, who invaded Cuba, has been taken and put to [ death by the authorities of that islaud. ROMA,N It is stated that a portion of theparish- ioners of St. Saviour's, Leeds, who went over to the | church of Rome with Messrs.

THE CARDIFF lNIJ MiiUTIIYR GUARDIAN. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 26. 1851. It was untoward tol the provincial recorders of events that no less than three important meetings took place on the same day in this week, viz., on Tuesday last, the 23rJ instant—(The Lord Bishop's Visitation at Llandaff, the Agricultural Meeting at Cowbridge, and the opening 0 the Vale of Neath Railway to Aberdare). Not having the ubiquitous quality attributed by Sir Boyle Roche birds, and by Dean Swift (though scarcely so much 111 earnest) to the celebrated Lord Peterborough, our ite- porter could not he at Llandaff, at Cowbridge, and at Neath on the same day; but some of our establishment made a point of being present at each of these interest!11^ meetings, and we have exerted ourselves to give oor readers a faithful report of the various proceedings.

TH ERE could not be a more decisive proof that all the nations of the earth have unlimited confidence in the -L English Government than is afforded by the contributions to the Great Exhibition, if we look at the immense value of property entrusted to the care of a few policemen in the Crystal l'alace i what volumes does it speak for English order, discipline,and lovalty May we not triumphantly ask,—Is there a single spot on the face of the earth besides England, that such a mass of wealth and work could be congregated I The answer will be,—;No! Confi- dence is everything. Here is a country with 800,000,000 of debt, and not a single creditor would ileiluct 6 per ceut. to be paid ott' to-inorrow. Foreigners and Foreign Potentates voluntarily surrender to the care of England some of the brightest of their crown jewels, such is their confidence in the integrity of the British Empire. Confidence is the rock on which the English tradesman relies for his advancement. II is hist care is to inspire confidence in all his customers. Messrs. E. MosRS AND SON were the first to introduce a system new to the economist; cheap clothes were always to be had, but E. MOSES AND SON have established the manufacture of cheap and good clothes. They employed an immense capital to effect a complete revolution in dress. They bought largely the best materials, in the best markets; they assembled under their own eye the most talented artists in dress—they procured a vast number of the most clever wotkmen in all the branches—they laid themselves out for the manufacture of clothing for eveiy class, from the humble mechanic to the peer of the realm, and, by depending upou extensive sales instead of the usual profits, that brought down the prices of everything to half the amount previously demanded for worse articles, they soon inspired confidence among the million. The durability and neatness, the style and elegance, and the novelty of design, which characterised their clothing of every kind, so increased in demand, so increased year after year, that their establishment has been the wonder and admiration of the community. Their Monarch Mart contains the most extensive assortment of good things in the known world. Let all who are acquainted with the prices and quality of their dress pay a visit to either of their four establishments, and their confidence in the superiority of the clothing over all others will be at once established.

JOHN JENKINS, At the BOOT INN and RAILWAY HOTEL, Aberdare, on THURSDAY, the 2nd OCTOBER, 1851, at Sixo'clork P.M., in such Lots as may meet the conveniences of Pur- chasers, \LL those SIX COTTAGES and GARDENS, generally known as the MALT HOUSE COT- rAGES, situate in the improving Town of ABERDARE, and contiguous to the Gadiys Iron and Tin Works, and also to the Abernant and the Messrs. Thomas & Joseph's Iron and Coal Works, where Cottages are in great demand. This Property is held under a Lease for 99 Years, bearing date January, 1837, at the very low ground rent of Id. per square yard (now worth 2d. per yard), and was originally built for a Matthouse, to which it may be again reconstructed at a very trifling expense. The sup- ply of Water is abundant, and the Taff Vale and Vale of Neath Railways are within ten miuutes' walk, which greatly enhances the value of the Property, for either a Malthouse or a Brewhouse, the want 01 the former being greatly felt by the Trade, the population of the place being about 16,000, and there is not a Malthouse in the parish. ALSO, SIX substantial and lately-erected COTTAGES, with extensive GARDENS in front, situate at CWMBACH, on the side of the Aberdare Canal, and within a few mi- nutes' walk to the Cwmbach, Upper Duffryu, and Lletty Shenkin Collieries, where also the want of Cottages is greAtly felt. These Houses are held under a Lease for 99 Years, of which about 93 are unexpired, at the very low annual ground rent of One Pound per House and the extent of Garden Land may admit of additional Cottages being erected on the site, without any increase of ground rent; and in many instances the Colliery Proprietors secure the payment of the rent for those whom they employ. The great increase in the shipments of the far-famed Aberdare Steam Coal has created a proportionable in- crease in the demand for Cottages in this locality and the Auctioneer can with confidence recommend Capital- ists to invest their Monies in this description of Securi- ties, being by far preferable to any other, yielding a return of at least from 10 to 12 per Cent. per Annum,— such "great facts" being of themselves demonstrations of the eligibility of the Investments. For further particulars apply to Mr. JOHN JENKINS, Surveyor, House Agent, and Auctioneer, Royal Ex- change Insurance Office, Wind-street, Aberdare. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, BY MR. ROBERT EVANS, At the WYNDHAM ARMS INN, BRIDGEND, on SATURDAY. the 27th of SEPTEMBER, 1851, between the hours of One and Three o'clock in the Afternoon (unless pre- viously disposed of by Private Contract), subject to such Conditions of Sale as shall be then produced ALL those Messuages and Tenements of Land now commonly known by the name of MODRINGELL containing about 314 Acres, situate in the Parish of Ystradyfoduck, Glamorganshire.

There are several Cottages and a Meeting-house on the land. The Chapel and one of the Cottages are subject to Leases. The celebrated Dinaj Coal Seam is workable level free under the greater part of the Farm, and the Aberdare and Merthyr Coal and Ironstone Seams underlie it, and can be worked in the bottom of the Valley, by a Pit of moderate depth. The Tatf Vale Railway Company have constructed their Rhondda Branch to within a mile and a half of the Farm, and have declared their intention of forthwith continuing it to the head of the Valley.

STONE, MASTER OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL AT NANTGARW, TAKES this opportunity of informing the Inhabitants of CARDIFF and its Vicinity, that he teaches OEN- TLEMEN'S COMMERCIAL&LADIES'ANGULAR WRITING, on a new and easy method, quite different from, and far superior to the SyStem practised by School- masters generally, which will enable persons to write a good hand, adapted to book-keeping or general corres- pondence, in Twelve Lessons of an hour each. The opportunity holds forth a great advantage to adults who have not acquired a good knowledge of the useful art in their youth, and equally to young persons who are not good writers. The Angular Hand has been particularly admired for its neatness, and, consequently, learnt by many young ladies who were good writers before. TBUMS—paid in advance—Ten Shillings, or One Shil- ling a lesson. G. S. STONE'S Teaching Rooms are at Mr. WEBBER'S, G7, St. Mary-street, where he attends every TUESDAY and FRIDAY Kvenings. -G. S. STONE is open to make en- gagements for teaching young ladies and gentlemen at their own residence. Parties wishing to make such en- gagements will please address to him at Nantgarw School, or at his Teaching Rooms, St. Mary-street. He also begs to state that on receipt of a Post-office Order for £ 1 ls., he will forward plain directions, which will enable Schoolmasters, Matrons of Ladies' Seminaries, and Governesses, to become Teachers of both Systems, or an order for 10s. fid. for one Sy stem only. Those who wish to see the Handwriting taught in Twelve Lessons, previous to applying for directions for teaching, may receive specimens, post-free, by enclosing two postage stamps to G. S. STONE, Nantgarw School. The Biule and Accordion Taught. ACCOUNTANT & GENERAL AGENT. From the number of Testimonials which G. S. STONE has received, he begs leave to insert the following:- "I have much pleasure in stating that Mr. Stone's system of Writing is the best 1 ever saw; it is remarkable how soon pupils may be brought to write a go od hand under his tuition. Males in a good Commercial hand, and Females iu a neat An- gular hand, styles which we much admire. 1 have taken twelve lessons, and have progressed beyond my expectations. "JOHN LEWIS, Pentyrcli." "With great pleasure I bear testimony to the fact that I became a Pupil under Mr. Stone to learn his Commercial sys- tem of Writing, previous to which 1 was a very poor writer, but can now write a legible bund after receiving twelve lessons. 1 therefore beg to say, that I am exceedingly satisfied with the progress I have made. "WILLUM CHBISTOPHBR, Mason, Taff's Well." "When 1\Ir, Stone j&ji^meneed teaching his systpmof Writing to adults at Nantgarw, I was in ijoubt that a good hand-wriliug could be taught in so short a time but having seen so many of his pupils writing after receiving their course of lessons, my doubts were somewhat removed, anù 1 was encouraged to try lor myself, and to my astonishment I improved rapidly in a few lessons; and I beg to state that I cau now write a legible busi- ness hand, though" my wriliug was bad before. Therefore with pleasure and coufideuce-l recommend others to avail themselves of the opportunity. •• VAVID JOHN. Shopkeeper, Nantgarw." We. the undersigned, not being good writers, were induced to become pupils under Mr. fetone to learn the Angular system of Writing, aud having now tiuished our course of lessous, we with great pleasure testify that we have acquired the art quite to our satisfaction aud we strongly recommend it to the notice of all respectable females who have not done so. We particu- larly admire the hand for its peculiar neatness, and for the quickness and ease with which it may be learnt. M. & S. LEWIS, Peutyreh." Not having the advantage of learning a good hand-writing iu my youth, 1 was induced to become a pupil of Mr. Stone's; and having taken twelve lessons in his new system, 1 beg to say that I am now able to write a good hand, and 1 strongly recom- mend any who cannot do likewise to become his pupil, as he will doubtless rapidly teach or improve them. WILLIAM POWELL, Pentyrch." Having learnt the useful art of writing in twelve lessons of Mr. Stone, School-master at Nantgarw, I hesitate not to give my name in testimony that his S) stem is far better than the general way that School-ro«s'er'' teach writing; and I consider it well adapted for full grown persons to be made good writers, Hid I certainly think it worthy of public patrouage. DAVID MOBOVN, Pentyrch." I am pleased to testify to the public that Mr. Stone, School- master at Nantgarw, has taught my daughter a very neat style "f writing, called the Ladies' Angular Hand, which she so suc- • •e*sfu:ly learnt ill twelve lessons as to give me the greatest -ahstartion. and at the same time iuducing me to subjuiu my lame to this testimonial. «« VVILLIAM DANCK, Baker, Taff's Well." "Having learnt the Augular System of writing satishtctori)) in twelve lessons of Mr. Stone, School-master at Nantgarw, we tlrungly recommeu 1 it to all young iadies who have not ac- quired it; we are very much taken up with the hand for its ueatuess—it certainly is (lie proper hand for our sex. "S. & M. ATKINS, Cardiff." "Setting £ re;it value on Mr. Stone's system ul Writing, I be^ to recommend him to the public generally, and to say that i have taken twelve lessons of him, and am improved in m\ wriliug very satifaetorily, as 1 can now write a very good hand, belore which I wrote badly. PAVIO PHiLLirs, Carpenter, Pentyrch." Having engaged Mr. Stone to teach two nieces of mine it 'lis improved stjle of Augular hand, which he did to my satis- taction in twelve lessou"; t am therefore able to bear testimou;- to his eflieiency in instructing pupils in a very superior style oi writing, creditable both to tractier and pupil*.
